Kate Sheppard
The leader and main figurehead of the suffragist movement in New Zealand - the first country in the world to grant universal adult suffrage to men and women equally.
Kate was a source of inspiration
to suffragist and campaigners for equality between genders, both in New Zealand and throughout the
world.
